X7 block in a junkyard

[77Bullet]

Stopped at a junkyard today to see if I could find a few miscellaneous items for my TA and came across four birds that the vultures have pretty much stripped.  I couldn't find anything useful to me but one of the TA's had a complete block and Q-jet sitting on top.  The block is stamped X7 in the correct location but I was confused because the valve covers are painted.  I thought if this is a W72 block the valve covers would be chromed.  Of course someone could have kept the valve covers and put on a pair of painted covers.  I don't need another engine but someone might be interested.  There was also a pretty decent '78 shaker hood.  I hate to see these items sit and rot.

The junkyard is in GA.  PM me if you are interested in checking it out and I'll pass along the info.
